TELL ME SOME OF YOUR GOOF UP AND WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME!
When I was putting resin on the hull I did something very stupid. I put waxed paper over it and smoothed it out while I was sanding the motor monts. I was scared when I forgot to pull off the paper right after my sanding was complete. The next day I found what I did and I slowly pulled off the paper ,to my suprise the finish was like glass. Sometimes accidents turn out to be very good. More experiments to be planned in the future. If you try remember waxed side towards resin.

Thick gauge poly film works too. The kind of stuff that your little parts bags are made of, (nut & bolts andstuff. It is thicker than waxed paper and less prone to tearing and leaving behind little pieces. This is the same stuff used in vacuum bagging processes. I've had good results with using thick mil Lawn & Leaf Bags for larger projects.
